Young Folks Will Marry Whatever the Law, Sweet Brides Are Always Plentiful That the gin marriage law will wreck the matrimonial business in California was the prediction freely made when the state legislature passed the act to prevent couples who had been imbibing too freely from rushing to a minister. And the predictions were fulfilled during the first two years this law was in effect. But the tide has changed, and the three days' notice of intention requirement of the law is no hindrance to loving couples any more. June, the month for brushing brides, proved the turning point this year and a total of 6,235 marriages were registered throughout California, compared to 4,707 in June of 1928. Orange county had 479 of these nuptial knots tied within its borders, a substantial increase over the year before. L. E. Ross, chief of the state bureau of vital statistics, has all the figures in his records, and something to say about the situation as well. "The number of marriages in California is fast returning to normal." Roas declared. "This talk about the marriage market being ruined was non-sense. The three days' notice of intention scared the couples out for a time and they went outside of the state. But no one thinks anything about it any more. It's getting to be just as natural to walk up to the license creek and tell him you want to be married In three days as it used to be to tell him the ceremony was to be held that same night." The average rate of marriage each year in California is 10 per 1,000 population. But some of the counties exceed this by a wide margin. Among them are Orange county, with 40 to the 1,000, Riverside with 18, San Mateo with 17, and Ventura with 18. These counties are closely adjacent to big centers of population and are looked upon as "smart" places to be married. NEW FORD CARS SHOWN For the past few days crowds have been visiting the local Ford show rooms to see the new features and improvements offered. The initial showing of the 190 Ford in 10,000 sales display rooms throughout the nation marks the introduction of a product improved in twenty major features, according to M. P. Thompson, Anaheim dealer, who announced a demonstration event to popularize the merits of the car. Formerly available in only six models the Ford is now sold in eleven models, with option of a wide range of colors. Many of the mechanical changes on the cars are a year ahead of improvements contemplated for higher priced cars. The inherent advantage of four-cylinder balance coupled with Ford engineering factors of smoothness, speed, power and beauty, make the car outstanding in a place of favor among cars selling for less than $1,500. SHOWER FOR MRS. FORD Mrs. Howard Ford of Fullerton, formerly Miss Esthea Grewco of this city, was the guest of honor at a delightful shower given by Miss Lillie Johnson, at her home on Monday last. The guest of honor was presented with a basket of lovely preserved fruits, the gifts of those present. A delicious luncheon was served and music and games served to render the afternoon a delightful one. Among those present were the hostess, Miss Lillie Johnson, and her mother, Mrs. Chad Johnson, Mrs. Howard Ford, the guest of honor, and Mrs. Fred Zeppenfeld, Mrs. R. L. Coons, Mrs. Wilbert Bonney, Mrs. A. M. Wright, Mrs. L. Hawkins, Mrs. Lillian Beckman, Dr. Clara Baldchouse, Mrs. J. M. Pifer, Mrs. G. Fenney, from Fullerton; Mrs. W. W. Davis, Mrs. Carl Grinnel, Mrs. Neal Schrod, the Misses Debbie McVeigh of Brea, Caroline Halrach, Esther and Marian Zeppenfeld, Pearl Bircher and Mildred Abbott. DOUBLE FRACTURE Charlie Ward had the misfortune to The average rate of marriage each year in California is 10 per 1,000 population. But some of the counties exceed this by a wide margin. Among them are Orange county, with 40 to the 1,000, Riverside with 18, San Mateo with 17, and Ventura with 18. These counties are closely adjacent to big centers of population and are looked upon as "smart" places to be married. Ross explained, "Your explanation of why people want to be married away from home is as good as mine. I guess it's the 'thing to do.' But you can bet that it has acquired a reputation and the love-birds flock there." To prove that women are more easily satisfied than men, just look at some of the husbands that the dear ladies have picked. DOUBLE FRACTURE Charlie Ward had the misfortune to sustain a double fracture of the left leg below the knee while employed at the Santa Fe oil field some days ago. While engaged at his work he missed his footing and fell breaking his leg as stated. He was taken to the Whittier hospital and his wife advised of his accident at her home at Southgate. She telephoned his mother, Mrs. Gerald Ward at Fontana, and she and her son, Edward, went at once to the hospital. That the same insistence upon high quality which has made Richfield gasoline and Richlube oil the favorites with motorists or aviators has caused city engineers and others to insist on Richfield asphalt, is the assertion of J. R. Keane, president of the Western Asphalt Association. Keane, who is an official of the Richfield-Pan American asphaltum department, calls attention to the newest 'wrinkle' evolved by asphalt engineers in repairing old roads and pavements with new, improved asphalt finish. Upper photo shows a street, paved 20 years ago, being treated with one of the new heaters. Be- low, the treated pavement is being resurfaced with Richfield asphalt and rolled into a pavement which, according to Keane, will last "indefinitely." That famous slogan of the speedway or airway—"Richfield wins again"—is being applied to pavement work, for the company whose gasoline has become world-famous for speed, is now engaged in manufacturing and distributing one of the finest of asphalt paving materials. Such is the assertion of J. H. Keane, president of the Western Asphalt Assocation and an official of Richfield and Pan-American, who declares that SHOWN crowds have show rooms and impoverment the 190 Ford mills throughintroduction twenty major Thompson, inced a demiy six models even models, age of colors, changes on of improvement priced image of fourth Ford engininess, speed, the car outtavor among $1,500.

The answer is officially given by the state division of forestry as "No one." State Forester O. E. Fowler is the man whose duty it is to assemble facts and figures on the destruction which the fire demon does each year in California. Just as he was about to start on his yearly report last week an epidemic of fires broke out in various parts of the state and Fowler was rushed out on the line to aid in the fight. A heavy blanket of smoke that has covered the blazing wooded mountains of this vicinity since the forest fires first were started, has added another difficulty for the fire fighters to overcome. Lookouts posted on the highest peaks are handcapped in their search for new fires. Several cases have been reported of new blazes starting literally under the noses of the lookouts because the vision of the fire fighters was hindered by the smoke pall.

"One of the important tasks now being done by Richfield and other manufacturers of high-grade asphalt is the reconstruction at low cost of pavements made by old-time and less efficient processes," declared Mr. Keane. "Twenty years ago or so, far less was known about coal or having than today—inspection and high standards were not so keen in now. No matter what type payment was held, truck, cream, etc., means the working quality that will be found in present-day pavements. Consequently, there is a big demand for asphaltum recarfacing by the latest method—a repaving which is admitted to be as permanent as can be had, at the lowest possible cost." Richfield's interest in asphalt highways dates from that company's merger some time ago with Pan-American at which time Richfield acquired what is declared the "finest and most complete" asphalt plant in the world. Richfield asphalt, it is stated, is being marketed throughout the world, especially in Western America, Pacific Islands and the Orient.

The use of gay color in breakfast nooks, for small tables and magazine racks, all sorts of small pieces, and especially articles to be made for Christmas gifts, may be studied in detail with Mrs. Rustad, who will give individual attention and advice.

During the month of September the entire country is studying refrigeration. For the first time this important subject is being observed from all angles. Women and men During the month of September the entire country is studying refrigeration. For the first time this important subject is being observed from all angles. Women and men are awakening to the tremendously important part refrigeration plays in keeping their health and the health of their families above par. September is National Food Preservation month. Until the end of the month a great deal of publicity will appear on the subject of protecting the food supply of the nation. Refrigeration is one of the most important links in the chain of producer to consumer. Lack of refrigeration at any step neutralizes the benefits that have been gained at other points. The consumer must realize this and see to it that his link in the chain is not the weak one. Read the articles that appear. Study refrigeration and what it means to you.
